In my opinion, Billings is a great town. There are a lot of reasons I moved my family here.

Most everywhere we go we are greeted with kindness and open hearts.

Just this last weekend my family and I were out checking out the town when my wife decided she wanted to pop into Michaels. As we walked around looking at things, I migrated to the back of the store where I met Roz who works there. Roz, like so many others I have met in the Magic City, was a very genuine, down to earth, very kind person. We talked for about 10 minutes before we departed. I left with an incredible feeling of being home. This happens a lot here and I love it.

This continued into Monday when I met Kelsey and some of the other workers at the Windmill Restaurant when I dropped off donuts for the Free Donut Drive By courtesy of Log Cabin Bakery. Good people.

It seems just about anywhere we go people are friendly and make us feel very welcome to be here. I couldn't be more thankful for that.

On the flip side of the coin, I have sat back and thought that if I could rid Billings of one thing, what would it be? That question for me was much harder than I thought it would be?

I have lived in plenty of places where I could fire off multiple answers for that question without hesitation. That is nothing to be proud of. For Billings, that is a different story for me.

I have finally come to a conclusion. My answer is drugs. They are everywhere in every town and my only wish is for a drug-free city. They are a cancer to civilization and I despise them no matter where I am. Other than that, I love this little city.

If you could rid Billings of one thing, what would it be? Tell me about it at 406-248-5665.
